A quicker history lesson! Good information.
A great insight of what hack and hhvm can be for php applications
Amazing talk, even though it was a lot of configuration settings. Well done!
I really liked the way the code samples were presented, but I didn't really see the value in the new syntax. I understand that is just my opinion, but I still felt that way in the end.
Near the end of his talk Chris gave a very compelling approach to dealing with non-technical people (e.g. boss/manager) in a way to help them understand and appreciate what testing can do. That alone made it a 5 star talk.
Good talk. There were some unfortunate audio issues at the beginning, but good, anyway.
I always like listening to Chris, especially when he jumps into a rant :)
I don't know that I'll use HVVM/Hack at any time in the near future, but I did like the collection ideas.
I think the slides were a little light, but not necessarily too bad. Chris did seem to be in a bit of a hurry at times, and I usually listen to him at 1.3x normal speed :)
Excellent talk with great information to get started quickly.
A suggestion though, can you highlight the configuration options? Makes it easier to follow along.
Good quick run-through of quick wins when switching to HACK, with a strong emphasis on code clarity and "performant programmers".
Great talk! I like your almost empty slides (maybe numbering would help to orient the distracted listener?)
I definitely want to see/here/read more of your thoughts!
Thank you!
Thanks for presenting on this topic, Chris! I was wondering what the highlights of HHVM / Hack were, and you gave a great overview! Thanks :)
Great talk overall. Started very slowly, and took a while to ramp up. I feel too much time was spent on the history of HTTP handling. The meat of the talk was the PSR-7 segment at the end, which was awesome. My suggestion would be spend only 15-30 seconds on each history slide, since they won't be valuable soon anyway. Skim over them, and explain more about the coolness of PHP as a long-running process, or preloading applications, for example.
